Unbelievable! I don't think Anya des3erved this win. Where did her other bathing suit go? When did she find time to suddenly make all this. I notice the long dress she had in the pre-view was suddenly shorter and hemmed! With her, everything looks the same----boring.

I loved half of Viktor's collection, but there is not way I would wear most of the black pieces, but some were interesting. I really thought that Josh would have the win after listening to the chat among the judges. I really didn't care for the plastic on a garment, but some of this colors were really nice. I still loves the white leather jacket Viktor designed! Then there is Janet. What can I say? The colorful collection was nice but she doesn't do anythig that hasn't already been done before.

I was not very entertained this season so I hope the next season is better. And now there are the copy cat shows beginning! I tried to sit through the first assessory show, but it just wasn't grabbing my attention. Same format just a different theme!

I have to say that I agree, Viktor deserves to win. He is the most creative and I loved everythig in his collection when Tim visited him. He was ready and the most prepared.

Anya's evening dress was nothing but a drapped piece of fabric and cut off at the hem! What was she thinking. I doubt her abilites to sew.

I have to admit, I liked Josh's clothes. I liked some of Kimberly's. The only thing I didn't like about Kimberly's was that awful pink skirt! I thought the judges were too nice when it came to that skirt.

I didn't think Anya deserved to go to fashion week. I don't think this is fair to the others.

I used to hate to press so much, but this is such an important step. Now I find that I will do what I can before I go press so I might not work in sequential order of the pattern instructions. For example, I may work on the main parts of the body of a shirt, go to sleeves or cuffs, put together collar parts, then go press. I get things done that I can without effecting a next step that should have pressing before I attach something.

I am just getting back into sewing from a long break. I have found that I have to read instructions more closely because some of the steps have been re-written so I'm learning something in a different way. I used to know the instructions so well, that looking at the picture was enough. I was always correct, but not anymore.

Fabric prices have changed over the years, but you still get what you pay for. Quality fabric is not something anyone should be willing to to give up, if money permits. I would rather have a nice quality fabric, well sewn garment than most of the ready made garments I see on the racks. It is sad to see what people pay for and wear once or twice then pitch it.

I am glad to see people wanting to learn to sew again. I have students that want to learn, so I have considered a sewing camp for the summer. I think it would be fun. Has anuyone ever done somethig like this?

Anya is the only designer that sent down something interesting to look at, even though she doesn't know much about sewing. If it had not been for Bert, she wouldn't have made it because she doesn't know what she is doing. Josh is two faced and gets to go to fashion week with the looks he sent down! Laura had more interesting design that Josh with the exception of that one rediculous dress. Viktor played it safe, although, I am not sure why he did this. Maybe the final show will reveal what is up his sleeve. I didn't care for Kim's designs. Why does everyone want the skirt to sweap toi the side like that? It's not becoming at all!

I'm looking forward to seeing the past designers that have won go into a competition. They were interesting before, so that should be good!

I was hoping that Bert would make it to the end. Anya's dress was very original and I believe she did deserve this win. However, I didn't get to see the whole show so I was curioous about the comment from Josh that her model was sewn into the dress. I;ll have to watch this show over the week-end. If she is not able to complete garments for her lack of knowledge on the process of placing pieces together in an order, then she won't make it during fashion week without some serious help. Kim won't make it much further because she is struggling. The other designers have more talent.

Why is it Joshua squeeks by when he acts like an overbearing jack--- in almost every show?

I loved the direction Anya went with her top and the pants, but the top was pulling in front. I don't understand how she won over the tailoring of Viktor's suit. I loved Lauren's little dress too. Bert's little "booty" showing beneath the dazzling shirt dress managed to get enough notice to win a spot of recognition.

I don't know if Anya has enough experience to make it to fashion week. She doesn't appear to have enough knowledge to me to make it. She has some missing skills that will be needed in the final week. I think Viktor and Bert have a spot; although, there have been times that I have questioned Bert's excperience. If Joshua would learn to shut his mouth and learn how to critique his own designs, he would make it for sure. He has the experience and the ideas; but his mouth turns me off. I like the blouse he made but those pants were awful!

This season has been interesting and uninteresting. I cannot say it has been one of my fav seasons. I hope next season is better. I liked the newspaper challenge they had a few years ago. They should stay away from party stores, food, circus----anything that lends itself to stupid looks! I like the period or era challenges and inspiration from a place (ocean, deseart, safari, art, city scapes, etc).

I loved Josh's dress too, but his self-centerness is a big issue with me. The dress was very attractive. I liked less flamboyant --- he always tried to overdo everythig. I was not impressed with Bert's dress. Boring! Anya's dress was pretty and I was surprised she got it to hang well. For someone that has little sewing experience, she is doing really well. I didn't really care for the one sleeve either, but the dress did show well.

I think I liked watching this challenge just to see how difficult it was to have husbands try to discribe likes and dislikes of the wife or girlfriend. This was better than that circus challenge.

I was not crazy about this challenge. I didn't really care for any of the looks. I expected more out of Bert ---- he is a major disapointment. For someone with his background, you would think he would know what to put on the runway. I was not a fan of Josh's look, so I was glad it didn't win. But come on, Anthony's was falling apart on the runway. The idea is what won, sure wasn't workmanship!

I think ideas for challenges is hard to come up with anymore. I like it when they design for someone. Those challenges are interesting. When they do something odd like circus, avant guade, etc, the looks are not very good.

I liked Kim's end result and thought it probably did deserve the win since it was the one outfit mostlikely to be worn to the office and afterwards for an evening. I liked the details in the top.

I liked Anys'a jumpsuit once she dyed that awful fabric color! The dye toned things down, but the design didn't say office to me either with so much of the back missing.

Laura's green dress looked more like a party dress for a Christmas dinner. I liked the styling but it didn't fit the qualifications for the challenge. Viktor's black dress was also very nice, but not something I would wear to the office. It didn't look comfortable enough to wear all doy.

Olivier's was just plain ugly slong with Cecelia. I was surprised she wasn't out since she just gave up. Granted Julia's was not a great design, but her idea was there, she just didn't execute it well. I thought Cecelia deserved to go home and Julia should have got to stay. Josh M's dress looked too space costumy---not a good look. As for the other designers, they all appeared to play it safe.

Having to design for Nina made the challenge interesting. Much better than that circus challenge!

I was not a big fan of this challenge either. I never like the odd challenges, except for the newspaper challenge a few years ago. Most of the time, the unusual challanges are lacking in creativity. The pairing and the grouping of contestants never bring good results. Why do they keep doing that?

I agree with the others commnets about Anthony's garment. I was not impressed with it at all. I did love Bert's garment and I loved Anya's garment. I believe Anya will be challenged with her limited knowledge with sewing, but she is creative. Bert will have a edge since he has worked in the industry. Once he catches on to what looks win, he could be one of the final three.

I am excited to see what the designers do this season. I love going into the stores after a season of Project Runway and seeing their ideas show up.

Sewing wasn't a reguirement when I went through hgih school; however, my mother taught to to sew beginning at age 12. By the time I reached high school, I knew more than most of the girls in the class.

I think sewing is making a come back due to shows like "Project Runway." For years, I have watched quilting take over in my area. The nice fabric store gradually became a quilting only with some home decor fabrics. They took oout their patterns nearly 10 years ago.

Now, people around here want fabric that is quality, but it means driving a distance to acquire anything of quality for clothing. Fabric prices have gone up just like everything else, so don't let the sticker price shock you!

This spring, I am teaching sewing to a small number of students in my school. They want to learn. Since we can get quilting fabric, we'll start off with a customize pillowcase. Teaches straight stitching and corners. I want them to take a basic tee shirt and design their own look. The come back with sewing has to include getting away from the pattern envelop and allowing creativity! That is what the kids want to learn while learning the basics.

Our new all inclusive high school will be teaching design and sewing. Schools are bringing it back because the kids have asked to be taught.

I wish there was a better selection of fabrics and patterns in my area that didn't require an hour or two drive to find it. I would like for kids to see the difference in quality of textiles. They need to know that that cheap top is not such a good purchase due to the poor quality of fabric. Sometimes feeling the difference coupled with seeing goes a long way!

Just like everyone else, I was really surprised that Grethen comes out the winner! Her things were all the same, not what I call high fashion---just plain and boring. Mondo, while I was not as blown away by everything, continued a creative side. What aurprised me was Andy! I felt that Andy had more interesting pieces and most were interchangable so why is it he didn't come out the winner? I really felt he won this one! I would wear more things in Andy's collection than Mondo's and I dont' think I would wear anything in Grtchen's. I think what really bothered Kors was that Mondo was edging (not the black but the "death" statement) on the Gothic look that is so appealing to teens (although that look is dieing out). I liked Gretchen's jewelry, but one peice looked like any other. Every ooutfit looked the same. I cannot believe she won!

I loved Andy's green dress; just a little on the short side for me. I didn't care for the swim suit and agreed with the judges---why did he place that in the three? I was glad when he was chosen to be in the final show.

I didn't care for anything Gretchen showed, thought the one she made in two days was really ugly. I liked the jewelry though. I don't see anyone walking around in colored undies and a suit jakcet with no bra on ---- oh, I guess that explains the hat to hide your face!

I was disappointed in Michael's work---everything is in the same color! What was he thinking!

Then there is Mondo which I have enjoyed watching his mastery of prints! I loved the long dress with the large circles! I couldn't wear it, but I still thought it was a great looking dress. I didn't care for the flower hats so as far as I'm concerned those could be left off.

I think Mondo is favored to win.

I hope Mondo wins too. I think he has the most creativity and who knows what he can do given more time to produce a line. I think he will be the one to actually carry a theme.

While I am happy for Michael C on his continued success, I feel he is not capable of making anything that really fits to flatter. Most his things involve drap. The weaving pattern he did has been done before on the show so I was a bit surprised nothing was said about that from the judges.

I like Andy's dress, mostly because of the back detailing made it somewhat unexpected. It was looking so predictable and then the model turns and that detailing was a nice surprise.

I don't know hat Gretchen is doing anymore. Her things are really ugly! That skirt was one of the worst things she has made. It ranks right up there with the robe she made with al the strings attached to it (and the judges thought it was great). I don't think she will get to be in the final three.

I was a little disappointed for April, but her continued black theme throughout the show was a mistake on her part. I sort of liked the dress she made. I thought it was more interesting than Michael C's. She has talent, but she needs to find some color in her life. She is young enough to have been in the crowd of teens that was influenced by the black clothing; Hot Topic look. Slap on the mesh hose and a mesh glove, dark eyeshadow and bright red lips---Halloween!

I agreed with the judges this week about Andy's win. I wan'st too crazy for Michael C's over sized things! They just hung there looking drab. Mondo gets a little touchy, but then so does Gretchen. I think we're close to seeing Michael C be out of this competition or maybe Gretchen. April, though, she loves that edgy sexy Fredrick's look, has talent. Who will be the final three?

When I became more passionate about sewing, I purchased a Vogue Sewing book becasue I was so interested in tailoring. It was difficult to locate many of the items mentioned in the book for taloring in my small city. Even though, we have grown over the years, quilting has serged since we have a hugh quilt show in the area every spring. Our beloved fabric store gradually switched all fabrics and notions over for quilters.

The book taught me skills that were missing and I found that I often prefer to use Vogue patterns over others because of their great care in details for construction. I have depended on "Threads" magazine for ideas to update old patterns and spark creative ideas. I enjoy the articles that discuss fabric stores in larger cities so that when I go visit these cities I already have my list ready!

Iam really liking Mondo's mixes of pattern. He is a very interesting designer and his reveal was very touching. It was nice to see all the designers rally around him and be so supportive instead of the usual selfishness.

This is the first time in weeks that I have liked anything Gretchen has designed. For once, this would be something I would like to wear ---- just don't have that kind of figure anymore :) I loved her print and the accent trim on the pants! Also, I loved April's print with the tree and hearts, but I wan't crazy about her design.

I really didn't care for Michael C's dress this week. It was very drab! Christopher's was just okay, nothing I couldn't make myself. And finally, I want to celebrate,Valerie is off the show. The twisted, frowny mouth thing she does and poor designs will not be missed!

I love Marilyn's comment that it looked like Grethcen's robe looked like it needed a lint shaver!

I think just about all of us must be from the 70's back when home ec still taught sewing and our mother's or someone in our family helped us at home learn as much about sewing as we could. Now, teens want to learn about sewing again and so many schools just don't teach this art like it should be taught. It saddens me to see this art get the shaft. I kep hoping that with programs like this on TV that more students will desire to learn and hopefully schools pick it up from the point of view there are students out there that are interested in designing clothes.

I liked Mondo's evening look to a degree, but there was just a little too much going on for me. He did a good job of capturing what the challenge was about. I'm liking Mondo more and more. I also am liking Andy more.l I liked his look, but I thought he just had a little too much detail and I'm not a fan of those really high boots. Michael C had a nice looking dress for both, just too much train on the evening look and I didn't care for the wire. Valarie's white dress wasn't too bad, but that other one was terrible. April should design for Fredrick's! I didn't care for Ivy's dresses at all! Poorly made on both. Chris' two dresses were really nice. He has designed some pretty clothes, but he doesn't get recognized. He is just in the middle. I think Gretchen is running out of creative steam! Those two dresses were awful. The day look probably saved her from being on the bottom.

I loved Mondo;s look because I could see Jackie O wearing this.l I could see her in Ivy's without the jacket. The jacket didn't fit correctly and she went for toomany diagonals; in other words overkill! It is a shame, because I think she would ahve won had it not been for the jacket. I loved Christopher's dress from the moment I first saw it. Very glammorous and who would want to cover that intereting look he created? No one. Again the outerwear was a death sentence to a garment that didn't need any other pieces---the statement had already been made!

Gretchen's was just plain ol' baggy--her look is changing. I don't know if she can end up in the top now. Why didn't Valarie go home? Her outfit was worse than Michael C's. Michael's was targeted toward a youthful person, not someone like Jackie O. His construction was much better than Valarie's. She is undecisive. April created yet another black dress---black is becoming too safe. It's like the designers decide the challenge is not their style so stay safe and go black. I didn't care for Michael C's dress combo. That jacket was all wrong. Andy tried to place his design into the Jackio O look and it just didn't work. maybe if he had stayed away from pants and had done a dress.

I r4eally thougth that Andy's looked more resort that April's Fredrick negligee! But then maybe it depends on the resort one is going to.

Casanova just wasn't understanding and I think the judges seized a moment that they thought was a good time to let him go. Although, I am ready to see Gretchen and Ivy leave. They have a problem with attitude!

I did like Michael D's dress just because of the interesting look around the shoulders.

There is way too much black and earthtones in this collection. When I think of resort, I thin of color! For the most part, these designs were depressing with few believing in color!

I sew because I love to create my vision from a piece of fabric. I love to alter patterns so a little of my personality is reflected in the finished garment.

Let e start off by saying that my favorite was Mondo's dress! I loved that dress because it was interestsing and eyecathing. I understood why Chris C won, but I really thought Mondo should have won this one. Chris C's dress had an interesting design to it, but I didn't care for the backside. Valarie's dress looked too patchy and what is it with bows? I don't care for bows; they are too little "girlly."

That was the ugliest dress that Peach ever produced! I do like her personality though. She was so nice to everyone and some of the designers should take some lessons from Peach. Mike D's dress looked okay to me, but it wasn't anything very interesting, just simple. Casanova just idn't know what to make so he made pants. He is living on a short string---he won't be in the top three. April didn't use much of her orginal gown that I could see. It appears that when in doubt what to do, make a black dress. I like Chris' dress and I'm not sure what was so wrong with it. Ivy and Andy;s were okay but not interesting. That ugly thing that Grtchen make looked like a Hot Topic purchase! She might not make the top three if she doesn't keep her mouth shut.

Congradulations to the winners. I loved Michael D and Casanova's looks the best. Once I could see the collection on stage as a whole, it was clear which team had clearly met this challenge.

It's about thime the the judges see that Gretchen is not a nice person and hard to deal with. She always wants to through someone other than herself under the bus, naturally, she wanted that to be Michael C. She didn't agree with last week's choice so she wanted him to look bad. It all blew up in her face! I'm glad that the judges saw her true colors.

What is this with all the zippers showing all the time? I don't find it appealing to see a zipper going up the back of someone's real end. I like Valorie's jacket and nothing else. Peach had a really nice dress this time, but the top part of it was my favorite part. I wasn't crazy about Mondo's look and why is the designers trying to copy this backless look. It's ugly---like someone cropped off the back. The front of that garment was okay, the back side ruined the outfit.

I understood why Michael C won this week with that fabric picking up the sparkle from the hat, but I have to agree with sew4fun's comment about the hat. I was not a big fan of that one either. I love red, but that hat! Kristne didn't have a clue what she was doing. I would have perfered to see spring color with her hate, even though this hat is not something I would wear either. Valorie's dress wasn't anything special, but I did agree with the judges that the dress and the mask really didn't go together. Peach's dress looked like a familiar spin-off of another one she designed and I didn't particularly care for that dress and hat combo. A tribal look would have been fun with that hat, not necessarily a dress. I thought Mondo's was cute---the first hat that I would wear. His outfit and hat didn't really go together, but he made it fun. Michael D's outfit was really cute and the hat did go with it, but again, that hat is not something I would wear. It reminded me of the Dutch wooden shoes. I though Ivy did well with her design and hat combo. While Christoper's fabric was interesting, I did understand and agreed with the judges that the fabric was too heavy for the look of the hat. AJ and Andy also did a good job creating looks that complimented their hats. I liked April's top, but those shorts were ugly. I didn't think she did a very good job with the challenge and really thought she would be the one going home. I did agree that Kristen's sewing looked pretty bad. She wasn't inspired with this challenge and I don't think she could get her heart into creating something ---- she appeared releaved to be going. Then there is Gretchen, already exploding with too much confidence. Her design and hat went well together, but she doesn't know how to keep comments to herself and she doesn't mind her own business. She is not a favorite. I have a feeling she will be around to the end; may even win this season.

So far, black is the in-thing with the judges. But I did like the dress that Andy created. He would not have finished if it had not been for the two assisting him. I think that Gretchen spends too much time sticking her nose into other's business. While she designed three pieces, I wasn't as impressed with this one. Peach's dress looked very "teeny-bopper" to me, but much better than last week. And I thought Christopher's was pretty, but it did look like fabric. Casanova has too much going on in his and he leans heavily on not understanding "English"----how much longer will he be in this competition? Valorie's was okay, just looked patchy. Nicolas' looked like the skirt had been starched stiff! I didn't like it at all. I thought Michael C.'s gown was very pretty. I love red though and I'm not much on black. I like these unusual challenges because the materials they have to use makes the designers pull out their creativity. If the designer has that "gift" then the designer really shines!

I thought the red dress should have won hands down! Valorie's would have made a more interesting billboard than the "modern day prison garb" (sewsforfun). Today's woman wants to look like they just got out of prison? I don't think so. Sexy and flirty is the red dress!

I did think that Mondo's skirt was better than his evening dress last week. But does he has some issues when it comes to pattern making?

Nicolas tried to copy a certain look from Gretchen (i.e.; blouse)--- then, did he try to cover that up adding the cape? I really think this sealed his fate.

I'm glad Peach didn't get eliminated because I think she has the talent. She just didn't approach this challenge very well.

As for Jason, I was glad to see him go. He clearly needs to spend some more time in the classroom! Those safety pins were unforgivable!

I was surprised to see Casanova continuing because his design reminded me so much of this past sesson: too much skin showing. I personally thought he had more "breat" showing than McKell! A little lower in the back and we could have seen her crack! Granted, McKell's skirt length had issues, but that shirt conversion was a good idea! She deserved another week and Casanova should have been gone. If not him then why not Ivy: Hello! She made pants into pants! The judges kept pointing this out; yet she continues. They hated her top but I sort of liked it. I didn't care for Sarah's hotpants jumpsuit ---- those were made in the 70's---not new!Jason's project was just ugly! There is another one that could have gone. He didn't have a clue what to do with his garment. No color and no imagination. I personally thought there were four people that could have been given the "ax"----guess we'll see what happens next week.

I thought that al the designers were true to their style with maybe the exception of Emilo. He went out on a limb to show a different side. Everything he had on the show would sell easily. Seth and Mila have a traget audience. I figured Seth would win because he is so edgy with his look and he is a talented designer when it comes down to construction. I would not wear a thing that he showed on this show, but I'm sure it would appeal to some out there. There were a few things from Mila's collection that I liked but she does design the oversized look and everything is black and white.

In Mila's collection: I loved that tee with the black stripes overlaying each other. I liked the jackets and coats she had paired with some of her outfits.

Emilio: I thhink I would wear almost any of the jackets, but I love those bright colors. They make you feel youthful.
His evening gown was futuristic and not something that appealed to me, but I did like the flow of the gown.

I learned to sew from my mother. By the time I entered high school in the late 70's, I had made a few simple things and was ready for something with some challenge to it. My mother began teaching me to sew when I was in midle school. I wore all hand made clothes throughout elementary and then a mix of store bought and homemade through middle school and high school.

I remember going fabric shopping and hating that experience. I wasn't sure how to read a pattern or how to visualize the garment made in a fabric I liked. My mother was better at this and I developed the talent over time.

My first home economics class was being taught at a beginners level, but the teacher knew that I had been sewing for three years at that point so she took all of that into consideration. I wan't the only student who had been sewing for awhile. We were paired with inexperienced sewers so we could halp teach! I thought this was smart for the teacher to do this.

I got to make a pair of pants and a simple jacket for my project where first timers were getting to make just pants or shorts. Another girl with experience got to make a lined dress!

Now that I'm back in the high school again as a teacher, I am floored at how little sewing is taught in most schools. Students have purchased kits that have the worst fabric I have ever seen! The patterns come with the kit. When did we decide the student didn't need to know how to read the back of a pattern?

I account for the decline in fabric stores to the fact that sewing has not been taught in the schools for so many years. I think that shows like Project Runway have created some renewed interest, but just as it took time for this decline to impact our communities, it will take time for it to impact the communities in the opposite direction. I find that there are students that want to learn, but they need to be taught by people with experience. The teacher we had here didn't sew for herself; therefore, the students constantly came to me asking questions the year I collaborated with the teacher. (I'm in special education.)

I think the technology used by the designers on Project Runway to create their own fabric would be cool to have in the schools. Our students today are not afraid of technology but embrace it. I can see students enjoying creating a fabric and then making something from that fabric.

It would be nice to see Threads offer competitions that target hgih school age groups only such as the ones that you have but are open to all readers.

I'm hoping Emilo surprises us at Bryant Park. Mila just showed more of the same, so I hope there is more to this collection than what we have already seen from her. I was surprised to see Jay's and then to see him be booted out. He actually surprised me with those three garments. I expect to see Seth do more of the same as he has done in the past.

I think it will be interesting this week!

I loved Emilo's dress! He is the only one that took the challenge and interpreted it the way it should have been interpreted!
I was so disappointed with Anthony. He could have been in the final three.
Mila is taking lessons from Seth. Her look is starting to copy his but he is much better at it---he has so much talent with garment construction. His ideas are not something I would wear with one exception, the mother daughter look, I loved that look!
Frankly, I was surprised to see that jay got the chance to go forward. I didn't care for his look at all. It wasn't very creative. Just appeared to be another version of someone elses' idea.

I'm looking forward to the final show. I think it will come down to Seth and Emilo. Which one will walk away with the grand prize?

I loved Anthony's dress! It's stunning the way it flows. I also loved Emilo's dress because of the sparkle. Gold/copper colors are not something I would wear, but I did think it looked very red carpet. I would wear Anthony's dress. I am so glad to see Anthony back.

I was glad to see Jonathon go. I liked jay's dress but I wish it were longer in the skirt. The short length added to the rear--not good. Mila's dress lenth was okay but it didn't look red carpet; more cocktail syle. Seth is just Seth---he has a one track design. However, he has come up with some great looks, this just wasn't one of them.

The show was interesting with all the announcements! I'm surprised about Maya leaving. But at least it gave Anthony a chance to redeem himself---he is so much fun to watch!

I thought that Johnathon was headed home the way they attacked him. Mysecond choice was Mila becasue her dress was ugly. She can only do one thing: black and white. I think she would fit right in with the Black and White chain.
I was sorry to see Anthony leave, but they are right, he only knows one design so give it time adn Mila may be gone since black and white is alll she knows.

I didn't totally dislike Jonathon's fabric. He just didn't do it justice with complementry fabrics and the design of the dress was bad. A little more color might have been best instead of playing it down.

Seth is another one that while he is creative, and I'm shocked he wasn't the winner the way the judges went on and on; his designs are for a targeted group. These tend to be fads. I am curious as to how long he gets to stay. I expect to see him in the final show because he has the most talent as far as skills.

I wish Mayo had won the challenge because her fabric was my favorite. I didn't like or dislike her dress. I thought the fabric fit well with the design.

I really didn't care for Emilo's blue. I have seen designer's use their name before on fabric so this is not a new idea. The heart think didn't bother me, I got it. I just thought the blue was harsh.

Jay's fabric was another favorite of mine. I loved it! I didn't particularly care for the outfit, but I rarely see myself wearing any of the designs.. Now there ahve been some that I wish I could wear, but on me and this body---no way!

I am curious as to who decided they have had enoough.

There were more looks this week that I loved than any other week. It had to be a tough call for the winner this time, but after viewing the show a second time, I think I could see that the judges really liked Emilio's and Seth's looks the best. I had to agree that there was just a little much on Seth's look. Emilio's dress was jut right! Sleek with a slight edge with the gold and zipper.

I loved the dress Anthony created! And I loved the top and skirt by Maya. I liked the punch of peeking red on the skirt. The sleeves were made special with their treatment.

The two teams worked well together. They used the best of their talents so I had to agree that they belonged on the top. Double winners----congrats to the two designers for being the first!

I have to admit that I love Mila's edgy jaket, not that crazy about the skirt, but its worked with the jacket. I just prefer something longer. Jay's outfit was horrid! What was Amy thinkig? The colors worked together and I got the detailing, but the length killed the entrie look. Maybe a dress would have been better or a different style top. Jonathon's dress was okay. I wan't that thrilled wth it. I got the era, but I agreed with the judges about those solid panels.

I liked Jonathon's dress because it was the only one that appeared to symbolize what it was supposed to and it did compliment the model.

I have no idea what Amy was thinking, but she should have known that all that hair was not going to be successful based on the sling outfit from last show.

Ben's pants were awful! I am amazed at how many cannot design nor sew jackets and pants! Don't they teach these garments in design school?

Mila stayed with the darks this time, but she cannot seem to break away from geometrics. I give her a few weeks and she'll be out.

Seth is a costume designer more than a designer of women's clothing. He should seek a job doing costumes for movies---sci fi to be specific. My fav outfit was the mother daughter----only think I have like by him.

Jay's dress was much like another one he designed, so he stayed safe!

Ho Hum----I am ready to see something different.

I loved this challenge. So often designers are given a challenge for women only. Why not children? Their clothing can be fun! I always enjoyed sewing for my children when they were small. My favorite was Seth's. I loved that jacket he designed for the mother. I thought the mother and daughter complemented each other well. I also liked Jay's design and wouold have accepted him as the winner too. Interesting lines from these two this week. Most everyone else played it safe or went too crazy! I hated those pants of many colors! Yuk! Emilo's(mother)dress was beautiful but his child's dress was too safe. I thought the "toliet paper"dress was not that bad on the model, but I didn't care for the girl's dress. Loooked a little odd to me.

Emilio's dress looked like something from Fredrick's of Hollywood! I didn't care for it at all. Poor Anna, if she had chosen to do this outfit some other time when it may have matched a better challenge instead of this one, she might have won the challenge in a different category. I didn't care for that vest thing. I like the top and the shorts. I thought Ben's dress was going to win. It was very interesting. I liked the colors. While I liked Anthony's dress, there was something about it that didn't look well made. I felt it won because Heidi liked it. Mila produced the worst garment. It puckered, the colors were terrible, ---- totally a mess!

I have not seen anything that looks that great on this season. I don't care for Mila's designs at all! Clearly, I have no doubt, she will be in this for a long while yet. I hope the designs get better.

I didn't care for the winning design but I could tell that the judges were interested. After their "chat" I figured the design had won.

I was surprised that last week Ping was kept. I don't think the designer should be kept when they send their model out with her rear hanging out!

I liked Jesus and Amy's dress; although, it appears to be a bit copied from other designs I have seen designers produce. It was elegant!

I love the felted wool jersey! However, where I live, this fabric is going to be difficult to locate. I would like to know where I can purchase felted wool jersey.

I personally liked Carol Hanna's collection the best. The sweaters were too oversized in Althea's collection. Irena's was too outer space. They looked like costumes for a sci-fi film and the hats just sealed that look. Black may be the "in" color for large cities but I don't think the average female wants to wear all black. Althea appeared to loose site of her own creativity and began looking like Irena's ideas. Carol Hanna may have performed better if she had not been so sick. I agree the blue was too strong of a color for her to wear. I do wish she would not giggle so much.

After watching the show again, I have to say that I really don't like any of the designer's collections. Irena has too much black on black. It does have a unified theme, but I think she may have made a mistake going against a judge's recommendation. I don't like the tulle outfit by CH either. I think it looks like a bottle brush. Althea has some good pieces, but they are knitted. No one looks strong at this point.

I was surprised how unfinished the garments were when each was visited. I don't care for Irena's designs, but I can't say I really cared for any of them. I like black but I want a splah of color somewhere. I thought the most creativity was in Althea's. I plan on watching the show over just to look closer at each of the three again. I did feel sorry for Carol Hannah. I thought it was nice that the three designers came in to assist these three with the 13th garment.

Kate W and I agree on something. What kind of "sick show" is this that allows only 30 minutes to sketch and then 30 minutes in that awsome fabric store, running around like fools searching for the perfect fabric?! I take my time too. I have to think about all the details. I want to be happy with the end product and not end up with something disgusting and totally unwearable which is what we witnessed in almost every episode!

After seeing Mood, I want to go there with a couple $100 or so and buy something awsome to make for me! We have nothing where I live. Those chain fabric stores carry junk compared to what I've seen in some nicer stores that are privately owned.

The only design I liked was Carol Hanna's dress. I thought anyone would love to wear that one. What was Irena thinking? That was ugly and I couldn't believe the judges liked it. Athea's dress---hummmmm----I think she made some bad fabric choices. The combination isn't bad together, but the design of the two pieces are in conflict with each other. Gordana's dress was okay, not stunning or different. The back did look bad. I had to agree with the judges on this one. I thought a scoop back would have had more impact and a different closure or a zipper in the side, so it would have been hidden from the eye. I have not cared for anything from Christopher for several episodes. He needs to take some classes and learn about fabrics.

I'm tired of Irena's comments too. I think the other two girls, Carol Hanna and Althea have nicer personalities. It will be interesting to see the show next week. I think that Carol Hanna could win this!

I would wear Athena's because the perportionally it is the better look. Irena does show a great deal of talent, but I could not see many people wearing her dress. The fur on those sleeves made them look bottom heavy, almost as bad as Christopher's dress. I don't know what he was thinking with that dress. I was glad to see Logan finally off the show. His design probably would appeal to a limited young population. I loved Carol Hanna's dress. I was a little surprised she didn't win this one. I thought it would be between her and Athena. For fuction, Carol Hanna dress would allow one to wear it to a dinner party. You really cannot wear Athena's or Irena's to dinner without removing the sweaters.

I don't find the jealousy appealing among the designers. I think that the contest will come down to Atena, Irena, and Carol Hanna. They have shown the most talent for the limtied amount of time they have to sketch and shop.

I was very disappointed in the designs that came out of the designers imaginations last night. I try to keep in mind that they are only given 30 minutes to sketch and 20 minutes to shop----really doesn't seem like much time in alloted for thought.
I have been very disappointed in Christopher because he has so much talent, but he doesn't show it very well most of the time. Carol Hanna is too giggly, but I do see some thought processes developing in what she design. I was not a fan of that print for the dress last night. Gordana is showing some signs of creativity but she needs more time to execute her ideas. Irina sticks with what she knows how to do and work with. But what she designed last night was not anything new. I liked Logan's jeans, but again, they were not unique. This idea has been around for a few years. Nicholas needed to go and I expect Christopher will be right behind him.
This is my first year to watch Project Runway. While I have enjoyed many of the first episodes, these last few weeks have been disappointing. Where are the fresh new ideas?
